Castlevania is a frustrating game, at times unfair, at times made me want to rip my hair out. I had a blast.

There is a lot that's been said about this games movement and how the clunkiness and delay makes for a more interesting, tactical game that you really need to really plan out your moves for. And yeah, that's accurate! It's fun! I'm beginning to really not buy the "games from this generation have aged poorly" shit because damn games like this show that people had really good ideas back then.

Also, I did abuse save states near the end. No, I don't feel bad.
